It’s been a colourful week for This Morning, which Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford have hosted while Phil and Holly take their summer break.

On Wednesday (14.08.19), Eamonn joked that Gemma Collins should replace Ruth on the programme.

The reality TV queen was on to speak about her new show, Diva Forever, and her life in the limelight.

But at one point, Gemma took over Ruth’s spot on the show and showed off her autocue reading skills.
